Like many if not all others on this forum, I watch the progress at GigaAustin (many thanks to the quad squad and others) very closely. Until April progress was going very well and I my only concerns were for when the 8K-ton gigapresses would arrive and be installed or when the battery cell factory would become operational. That all changed with recent rains and now I look at a submerged GigaAustin and wonder if/when the CT will be built, let alone according to schedule. I suppose it is the nature of waiting years for something to be designed and produced that makes us hyper-sensitive to such things, and maybe we are just fed too much great information and need to chill out, but I have become obsessed with what appears to be a planning failure with respect to drainage at the site. Every new thunderstorm further illustrates this lack of planning, with the new road being submerged (Randy's video from last night) being one extra datapoint in this snafu, and I wonder when they will do something proactive to resolve the drainage problem and get back to the task at hand - producing my CT. Are others anxious about this or am I overreacting?
